  • LPG Academic Catalogue
    LITERARY PRESS GROUP ACADEMIC 2014 CATALOGUE {} Welcome Th e Literary Press Group is a collective of independent Canadian literary presses, all of whom work tirelessly to introduce and support incredibly diverse voices that keep the Canadian literary scene vital, fresh, and interesting. When you choose a course text from an LPG publisher, you’re choosing to support some of the hardest working people in the Canadian publishing industry. Th at’s because, for our members, publishing is a labour of love and not a money-making venture. Although they each have a unique mandate, our publishers share a commitment to introducing new authors and new ideas to a literary scene that is overrun with the same voices and the same information. Our publishers are the ones saying yes to debut authors, who often go on to work with bigger publishers. Th ey are taking risks and supporting authors who are outside of the mainstream. And when they’re not bringing you something completely new, they are reissuing important literary texts that are out-of-print and/or diffi cult to source. In this catalogue you’ll fi nd 130 potential course texts from 35 of our members, and this is just a sample of what’s available. New poetry and fi ction, drama and theatre history, literary theory and essays on culture—together our members’ books provide you with an unrivalled selection of contemporary Canadian thought and creativity.
